Hi Val Just ,

It looks like the master bedroom is smaller than the second bedroom. If you want to move walls, you could look at a more functional closet layout and leave the other room. 12" on either side of the bed is pretty tight.

I'd love to do a few sketches for you & also assist you in finding the right furniture that fits your needs & style, check out my video below.

Thanks,

What are the actual dimensions of the walls in the bedroom space- obviously the drawing is wrong (it says 19’x20’ which would basically be a square)

@HALLETT & Co. Haha the drawing is quite wrong, yes - the walls are actually 7'5 across

Interesting challenge...My first thought was to borrow space from the closet, but I think the bed would impede entry into the room, right? So, I assume you are thinking of placing it on the wall to the right of the window wall.

I would center the bed on the wall, put the bed's feet in risers so you can store things under the bed, and put a wide stool/bench at the foot of the bed so you both can climb in. ; )

You might consider shelving above the bed or a shelved headboard for books, cellphone, glasses, etc. You could also install adjustable arm lights above the bed or on the walls flanking the bed. I would choose a location that wouldn't be in my way while making the bed.

Pendant lighting with horizontal stripes to create the illusion of a wider room...

Articulating arm sconces...

Swing arm that plugs into outlet...

Jumping off from Seaways mockup, here's mine. I have no idea if the bed I placed in there is anywhere near the correct size/proportion for the room.

Shwshw. That’s a great use of space. You go girl. Hope you’re well and coping okay. The OP is MIA.

Sorry - not MIA, just very busy with work and moving into our new house. These ideas are terrific, thank you all so much!!

Using ShwShw's illustration as a reference, we have spacepac a/c tubing running down the wall in the left corner where the shelves/drawers are placed, I'm not sure what code is and if we're able to conceal those, but that's an intriguing idea to play with and I think it would really open up the space. Even if we cut the closet down so it was a smaller walk-in, I think that could work, given that I was already thinking of putting a built-in where they placed the closet, so no storage space would truly be lost.

Hi Seajay and Shoo Shoo. ; )

Hi Val. Here are some visuals that are close to scale. The first one shows ShwShw's location. I blocked out the current closet entry and left about 30" to the right of the bed.

This shows two other locations. The top one allows about 30" to the left of the bed. The other is what I think you were originally thinking with about 18" on each side of the bed.

Nice work Kim.

Thanks Kim - very useful!

There you go, Val, Kim to the rescue.

@Seajay Sparkles everyone here has been very helpful and given us a lot to think about - thank you all :) Hope you're all staying safe out there!
